"Meanwhile, even many liberal Democrats cling to the apparatus of capturing and caging human beings, while arguing that it should be done “humanely"... the arguments for “humane” prisons and policing echo the chorus of voices calling for “humane” executions."

I hate to admit that i used to work in political consulting but tobias was one of our biggest clients when I worked in fundraising. given that he spent like 70% of his time bashing bernie supporters and bragging about knowing sheryl sandberg, I guarantee that this is partially ideological for him

One of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW.

On August 1, the local online news organization Double Sided Media made two records requests to the Eugene Police Department for data on potential misconduct. EPD responded Sept. 28 with a combined cost of more than $2.6 million for both requests. Read the whole story in Eugene Weekly.

Two observations about Oregon politics on the whole: 1. Legacy political entities and longtime observers here are so accustomed to minimal pushback and public participation that even slight opposition is labeled abrasive. 2. It will attack tone when it can’t impeach the substance.

Two screenshots against a photo of purple and orange flowers. The first is a map of the US showing COVID transmission, with states colored light blue to berry pink depending on severity. Lane County is red in the high range. Most other counties in Oregon are in the moderate, high, and very high ranges. Text notes that this data was last updated on September 26. The second screenshot is text that reads, “94% of Oregon community wastewater treatment centers were positive for SARS-CoV-2 on the most recent sample.”

Annie Ellison tried to stop me from getting into Emerge Oregon, a program that teaches women to run for office. When I got in anyway she told me to stop talking about police accountability and the rights of the unhoused because “those aren’t popular issues anymore.”
day, goPDX sent $6,000 to "The Rally Point" —a consulting firm run by former Emerge Oregon director Annie Ellison. The goPDX PAC then sent $25,000 each to DitchMitch and fix multCo.

Alt text of NYmag excerpt: "Piker was conflicted about the masks. “lmao. woke 1.0,” he wrote when I first texted him about the rule. But, he added, “there’s a very COVID conscious group in the super left. Lots of people w disabilities who are more vulnerable to disease spread.” He didn’t end up wearing one, which was allowed because he was a speaker. As we waited for the Uber to Au Cheval, Piker asked if I remembered an infamous video from a DSA meeting in which someone prone to sensory overload asks people to keep their chatter to a minimum, after which the next person calls out the prior speaker for referring to people as “guys” — a human chain of hyperspecific grievances. “I want to be as accommodating as possible, but at the same time, that is just organizing poison,” he said. “Or maybe we’re fascist eugenicists, and we are advancing the able-bodied supremacy and the disability holocaust in the same way the Nazis did!”"
